Which UCSD college should I pick?

<p>The UCSD 6 college system is really messing with me.</p>

<p>My major is Anthropology (Cultural) and I am not sure how to go about finding out what college is the best for me to apply to or what the real difference is at all.</p>

<p>Anyone have any experience with this?</p>

<p>Yes. I applied (and was admitted) to UCSD as a cultural anthropology major a few months ago. I ranked Marshall first, and was placed there. I ranked the colleges as following:</p>

<p>1- Marshall
2- Muir
3- Sixth
4- Warren
5- ERC
6- Revelle</p>

<p>It basically came down to the G.E. requirements for me, Marshall and Muir being the most lax in that regard.</p>

<p>Muir offers the most flexibility… Plus I read about all the different colleges on the UCSD website and liked what Muir represents… There is a lot of material on the website that will help you make your decision! Plus you can read about all the different colleges on wikipedia… super cool!</p>

<p>For transfers: Warren and Muir (fewest requirements after TAG)</p>

<p>^^ Not so sure about that.</p>

<p>Marshall requires only 2 upper division courses that are non contiguous (the same number as Muir but I think this gives you more freedom).</p>

<p>Warren requires 3 upper division courses that are non contiguous to your major after transfer</p>

<p>Muir requires one writing course (Muir 125) and one U.S. cultural diversity course. The advantage with Muir though is that you can complete the cultural diversity course before transferring.</p>

<p>Is there any difference between the schools apart from the GE requirements? According to their website, Muir, Marshall, Sixth, and Warren’s GE requirements can be fully completed by IGETC.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/transfers/prep-programs/igetc.html[/url]”>http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/transfers/prep-programs/igetc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>“This curriculum is a series of courses that meet GE requirements at UCSD’s Muir, Marshall, Sixth, and Warren colleges.”</p>

<p>Each college has its own housing, advisors etc. Other than that and GE’s there are no differences.</p>

<p>And yes, IGETC does satisfy all lower division GE’s for those colleges. It does not, however, satisfy the upper division GE’s.</p>
